The Scene – Strange: Of all the fine Cleveland restaurants on whose menus you can find any number of great seafood dishes, there are few that devote themselves primarily to seafood. The patrons arrive casually elegant, with the hooked returning on the weekend to work on their mussels. Minutes from the downtown attractions via the West Shoreway, the Edgewater Beach State Park--home of the best sunsets in town--is just across the road. – – The Food – When it comes to fish, Don's is decidedly old-school (no pun intended). This popular grill in a renovated lakefront resort…

Great place for dinner for two
by Sandra W at Citysearch
That was my first visit there with my boyfriend. And I was impressed with the interior design and the warmth of the place. The service was great and everyone was courteous.
We ordered the Chef's special for the evening, and neither my boyfriend and I knew about the meal, but it sounded interesting. And I must agree it was the awesome.
The food was fixed to perfection and was warm and was very attractive to the eye. I would definitely go back again and would recommend others to go.
Thanks

Great Experience

From the service to the food, Don?s Lighthouse is a great experience. We enjoy the atmosphere and the service. The staff is friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The food is served hot and portions are ample. The steaks were cooked as ordered and the waitress followed up to make sure that we were satisfied with the meal. The food was well seasoned and well presented.
- Pros: Very good service and food.

GREAT RESTAURANT
by Popki at Citysearch
This restaurant was a great choice. I have been there twice now, once as a celebratory lunch w/co-workers, and once as a date, and both times the food, service, and atmosphere were great. The lunch crowd was busy but the service didn't miss a beat. Went for an off-night dinner w/my girlfriend who loved it. As a girl who loves nice restaurants and has lived everywhere from NY to FLA, she stated many times in the months following that this was by far one of her favorite restaurants. As a former server in college I can attest to the great service. And the food was great. The prices seemed closer to $$$ than $$ listed here, but it was reasonable and delicious. They seem to have very good specials, and I definitely recommend a visit. I will be back!
- Pros: Great food, atmosphere, etc.
- Cons: Possibly pricey for lunch, GREAT for dinner.
